Hi Scott, I put the Rimmer Bros sealed bearing Al hubs on the Spit race car
3 years ago. So far, everything seems OK, no leaking bearings, funny noises
or slop when I turn them by hand. The replacement bearings were readily
available, so I keep a set in the trailer.
Rimmer Bros Al hub
Sealed bearings inner and outer the same
Trailer bearings-
NTN japan
4T-L44643L/L44610
UPC 4547359669008
EAN 4547359669008

I did drill them out for longer, larger studs as well
Dorman 610-156 7/16" - 20
Knurled part - 0. 566"
Shank - 0.544"
Length 1 23/32"

drill for 610-156 - 35/64'
Also, you need to grind a flat spot on one end so it clears the hub radius
